Note threat to denaturalize—
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

This rhetoric is indistinguishable from the stuff you hear coming out of white nationalists. Completely identical language.

This is innumerate nonsense. An average of 1.1 million people were watching The Simpsons throughout its entire thirty-minute broadcast according to a third-party data company contracted to measure viewership by Disney. Somebody, no way to know who, hit the play button 1.7 million times on Twitter

Kael didn’t live to see Gere in Chicago. He’s a different kind of performer. Gere in his youth would have been a better Skye Masterson than Brando. I said what I said.
Richard Gere is to De Niro and Brando what the singers in Beatlemania are to the Beatles. (1978)

Biss spent 8 years in the state legislature representing a large portion of IL9. When he was a state senator, his district was coïncidentally titled IL9. He's the mayor of a large municipality in the district. People in Skokie know who he is.
They have to meet Kat A.

I think Biss’ run for governor was kindof a disaster and he’s not exactly a firebrand, but the lowkey dig at Kat A here is a legit blow to her campaign: Biss is connected to his district in a way Abughazaleh is not. Kat A has been impressive outside of the district but has not done enough in the 9th
@danielbiss.bsky.social will be a critical partner in advancing bold progressive priorities in Congress. Because of his deep roots in the district and decades of service to Illinois, we are confident he will continue to build a broad coalition of local support. We are proud to endorse him.

I am absolutely seeing this in real time. I get at least 3 emails a day from people I know and people I don't asking me if I have leads on work. I usually have to say I do not. The job market is NOT GOOD right now at all.

My worst food opinion is that mashed potatoes are bar none the worst potato delivery method no matter how well executed. You have strayed too far from the glory of the potato when you serve it in cloud form.
